Neil Patrick Harris is set to make his musical directorial debut.

The “How I Met Your Mother” star will direct “Rent” at the Hollywood Bowl this summer. Harris played Mark Cohen in both the Los Angeles and second national touring productions of the iconic, Tony- and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical.

This summer’s production, however, will mark the first time Harris directs.

There will be three performances of the show from August 6-8 at the Hollywood Bowl.

No casting has been completed for the musical, written by the late Jonathan Larson.
